Time is really starting to fly! Now its really time to start getting things done. As always I procrastinate. I usually work well under pressure though, so I’m hoping that will hold true!
Accomplished this week:

Ordered Karen Bussen’s: Simple Stunning Wedding Flowers
Hired a videographer!
Have a dress fitting today! I’ll finally get to try it on with my [...]

Please please know that everything on here is just my experience and my opinions! I’ve promised to share the good and bad. I’m really appreciative of all the supportive fellow brides (and even a couple grooms). Its feedback from you that keeps me writing. Unfortunately I did receive a particularly nasty message likely from an [...]

Well I think this is the week things are really going to start coming together. As expected, I am now getting LOTS of emails from our independent wedding planner — she rocks! One thing she has is a stylist who will come to your room and do your hair and make-up. Her up-dos cost much [...]

When we first decided we wanted a destination wedding we were overwhelmed by the choices and didn’t really know where to start. Here are some things that might help you decide that Aruba is a good location for you…
Aruba might be a great choice for you if:

You want a beautiful beach wedding.
You want to get [...]

I just want to send a shout out to the newest brides I met this week! Thank you so much for the feedback and encouragement. Without a doubt the best part of this whole thing has been that I’ve gotten to meet so many people through this. I hope you’ll let me know if you [...]

So we’re going to NYC this weekend and wouldn’t you know, last night I receive an email from Kleinfeld. It was just an email newsletter announcing they are now partnered with Adorn Brides, the company that rents real diamond jewelry. Well, one of my tasks for the weekend is to get my wedding jewelry figured [...]

If you’re looking into J Crew bridesmaids dresses you might be finding the fabric samples difficult to get. I sure did but I’ll spare you the details. After 5, maybe 6 weeks (and a couple phone calls and a couple trips to their retail stores), I finally got my samples. I no longer need them [...]

I’m so excited that we’re going to be visiting New York City this weekend! We’re so ready for a little time to reconnect and have fun. And we’ll even be working on some wedding stuff — lingerie for me, and a little work on the wedding dance for both of us. Only downer is I’m [...]

I forgot to mention the best news from last week! The Marriott has finished their pool facelift, not in the anticipated 6 weeks but in 4 weeks! It is open ahead of schedule. I was concerned when I found out that the pool was being renovated the month before our wedding. While my experience with [...]

Well we have less than 6 weeks now. I talked with the hotel’s wedding planner on Friday. Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of answers for her right now. She’s looking for details on things like the menu and the timing of all the events. She’s ready to get down to business and we’re stuck [...]
